Removing the interference of daratumumab on transfusion compatibility testing and transfusion efficacy comparison
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2024, Vol 37, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective To explore the feasibility of blood transfusion compatibility testing for multiple myeloma(MM) patients treated with anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab (DARA) after DARA-Fab fragment blocking, and to evaluate the transfusion efficacy by comparing with dithiothreitol(DTT) method. Methods After DARA was prepared into DARA-Fab fragments using PierceFab preparation kit, the neutralization effects of different volumes (5, 10, 15, 30 μL) on screening cells and panel cells were confirmed. DARA-Fab fragments and screening cells with specific antigens and corresponding monoclonal antibody reagents were used as the experimental group and the control group with the same volume of saline for incubating and centrifugin.Twenty MM patients treated with DARA were selected for cross-matching with DARA-Fab and DTT respectively, and the laboratory indexes before and after transfusion were statistically analyzed, and the two blood matching methods were compared. Results After incubating and centrifuging, the results of DARA-Fab fragments(15, 30 μL) with screening cells and serum mixed with DARA were negative, while those of DARA-Fab(5, 10 μL) were positive. 15μL DARA-Fab treated antibody identification cells (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11) were negative, antibody identification cells (1, 6, 8, 10, 12) were negative after 30 μL DARA-Fab fragments treatment; the results of MNS, Duffy, Kidd, Kell, Lewis, Rh blood group system of the experimental group were consistent with those of the control group; the hemoglobin (Hb) (g/L) of 20 patients after infusion of RBC (73.90±1.90) was significantly higher than that before transfusion (63.60±1.58), P<0.01. There was no significant difference in total bilirubin(TBil)(μmol/L)(16.25±3.54 vs 17.87±3.57), direct bilirubin(DBIL)(μmol/L)(6.31±2.32 vs 7.10±2.80)and indirect bilirubin(I-Bil)(9.94±1.38 vs 10.77±1.22) before and after infusion(P>0.05).And no statistical difference was noticed in Hb (10.75±1.04 vs 10.30±0.98), TBil (3.31±1.47 vs 3.31±0.55), DBIL(2.76±1.24 vs 2.60±0.83), and I-Bil(1.97±0.40 vs 2.82±0.53) between the DTT treatment method and the DARA Fab fragment treatment before and after transfusion(P>0.05). Conclusion DARA-Fab can remove the interference of RBC on cross matching by blocking CD38 antigen. This method has no effect on the antigens of common RBC blood group systems, and shows significant blood transfusion efficacy as that of DTT method.
